Abstract

[In the late Ottoman Empire, Edirne Province—located in what is now northwestern Turkey—was home to large communities of Muslims, Christians, and Jews, for whom the nearby border was somewhat porous. But the violent period covering the Balkan Wars (1912–1913) and World War One (1914–1918) saw a series of ethnic cleansings that targeted local Muslims and then Christians, the result being a more homogenous province and, for many, new conceptions of the border. Local Jews, however, tended to resist this new way of interpreting the border, opting instead to strengthen ties with coreligionists on the Bulgarian side of the boundary line. What characterized the Jewish reaction to these horrific events was not a turn to territorial nationalism but rather interstate solidarity among Ladino-speakers.]
